SAFETY CIGAR HOLDER.

Application illed March 6, 1928. Serial No. 92,785.

'from the said cigar from causing damage by dropping therefrom.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawing, and to' the appended claims in which thevarious novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. 1 of the drawing, is a perspective view of my improved receiver forcigar ashes.

Fig. 2, is a longitudinal central sectional view thereof.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view thereof, showing in particularthe cap as used in connection with my improved device.

Fig. 4 is a longitudinal central sectional view, showing a modificationof my improved device.

As here embodied my improved receiver for holding cigar ashes comprisesa cigar holder 10, provided with a tip 11, an aper ture 12, or cavity,and an 'axial aperture 13, the above mentioned construction being Suchas common to cigar holders used by smokers to hold a cigar 14, when itis desired to smoke the said cigar 14. The cigar holder 10, is alsoprovided with an adjustable member 15, a set screw, or the like, such aswill hold the said cigar 14 firmly in place in the cigar holder 10,which is further provided with a threaded outer extremity 16, toaccommodate the inner extremity 17 of the receiver 18, which isthreadedly attached thereto, and` comprises a hollow cylindrical member,having a cap 19, hinged to the outer extremity 20, of the receiver 18,as at 21, by a pin 22. The said cap 19 is normally held in a closedposition by the spring 23, having extremities 24 and 25, which hold thesaid cap 19 in the heretobefore mentioned position. Thel said receiver18, and the said. cap 19 are provided with a plurality of apertures 26.

Referring in particular to Fig. 4 of the' accompanyln drawing, in whichI have shown a mo ication of my improved device. The cap 19 is providedwith an extended element 27, which has pivotally attached thereto as at28, one extremity of a rod 29, which is pivotally attached at its otherextremity, as at 30 to a lever 31 which 1s pivotally attached at oneextremity, as at 32, to the said inner extremity 17, of the receiver 18.The above mentioned construction bein such as will permit the cap 19 tobe hin e open, b pressing the said lever 31, an is enclose in alongitudinal hump 18 of casing 18. Y

It will be understood that my improved receiver for cigar ashes, asabove described, is especially adapted for holding the said cigar ashes,until such a time as the said cap 19 is opened, and that the saidapertures 26, are preferabl; of small area, so as to permit air to entert e said receiver 18, but to prevent the cigar ashes from fallingthrough the said apertures 26.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire toprotect by Letiters Patent of the United States is as folows:-

1. A receiver for cigar ashes adapted to be placed over the lighted endof a cigar, to prevent the ashes of the said cigar from dro pingtherefrom, and a cap hinged to sai spring for normallyl holding said c ain tight fitting relation on the end of sai receiver and a system oflevers for opening said cap against the pressure of said spring.

2. In a device of the class described, a receiver comprising a hollowcylindrical member having at its outer extremity a cap hinged thereto bya pin, said cap normally held in a closed position by a spring, saidreceiver, at its inner extremity, threadedly attached to a cigar holder,said hollow cylindrical member,and said cap provided with a plurality ofapertures, and means comprising a lever operatively mounted on saidcigar holder for opening said vcap against the tension of said spring.

3. In a device of the class described, a

hollow cylindrical member, a capV hinged to and a rod ivotally attachedat one end to4 said extension and at the other end to said lever andadapted to open said cap when said lever is pressed.

receiver for closing Ithe end thereof, a p

4. A receiver for holdin cigar ashes comprising a holder provide with atip, an axial aperture and a cavity to hold a cigar, an adjustablemember for holding said cigar firmly in place in saidA holder, externalthreads on the end of said holder, a receiver screw threaded on saidcigar holder, a cap hinged to the end of said receiver, a spring fornormally holding said ca in closed position, said cap and' receiver eingprovided with a lurality of apertures of a size sufficiently arge topermit the inlet of air and small enough to prevent the passave of ashpivotally attached at one end to said pro.-

lection and at the other end to said operating lever or opening said capavainst th action of said spring When said lever is 20 pressed.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
